Due to weather being hot and humid Quebec Animaux decided to move the Pitbull walk for Sunday. Later claiming she forgot about the Berger Blanc protest.

Both events saw about 70 supporters, the protest saw more people over time since it lasted 4hrs. Not everyone stayed until the end, some arrived after the starting time.

This year Quebec Animaux had invited two “rescue” groups, PitStop Montreal and the SPCA Monteregie. Last year a boycott was launched against Quebec Animaux for selling items and not providing any financial support to the cause.

Quebec Animaux and PitStop Montreal faced controversy from the Wicca supporters in light of various issues.

PitStop Montreal thought that Wicca was not a good Pitbull image to portray, she had cropped ears and she scratched someone, blaming the owner of her fate. PitStop supporters claimed it hurt the Pitbull image in Montreal, there was no BSL in Montreal and that it would hurt the Pitbulls in rescue.

Someone at the SPCA apparently claimed that they had more Pitbull adoptions during the Wicca saga then normally.

Now today Quebec Animaux is facing various controversies, such as moving the Pitbull walk for the same day and time that there was a Berger Blanc protest.

Now PitStop Montreal had a problem with the Quebec Animaux event that they were invited to. They left before it started, claiming people were abusing their dogs, using chokers, pinch collars, dominating the dogs by forcing them to lay down.

PitStop asked Chantal Rondeau of Quebec Animeaux speak out about the issue at hand. A Pitbull breeder had also attended the event, selling puppies. Chantal didn’t wanna make anyone angry, or risk controversy concerning the training methods and un-neutered dogs present at her event.

It’s a Pitbull walk in the end, open to everyone, with two rescue groups as guests of honor.

Quebec Animaux had told her followers that 5$ of items sold at the walk would go to the rescue groups, however Quebec Animaux has no street merchant permit, it can’t sell items in a park according to the Montreal by-law.

The day before the event, Quebec Animaux announced that there would be no items for sale at the event, that online sales would be “delivered” at the event and proceeds going to the rescue.

SPCA Monteregie was unaware of the online sales, but did tell one of my sources that they received no money from Quebec Animaux because she had no items to sell on site.

For those who remember last year, Quebec Animaux also faced controversy over the Wicca and Berger Blanc saga, she was asking that people stopped flooding the Berger Blanc phone lines, it was the City’s fault Wicca was to be killed by the Berger Blanc, not Berger Blanc’s fault. Pierre Couture was only doing his job.

We later found out that Mme Randeau knew Pierre Couture’s daughter, that’s how she convinced the Berger Blanc to allow Mr Paps a last visit, despite the City’s refusal to do so. Quebec Animaux released images that were intended for Mr Paps only, (the picture of Pierre Couture and Wicca), among other pictures of Chris Paps visiting Wicca for one last time.

Mr Paps saw the pictures of himself and Wicca on Quebec Animaux before even opening his own inbox.

So did Mme Rondeau actually forget about the Berger Blanc protest? Or was it a plan to lower participation against a Berger Blanc protest?

One thought on “Separation within animal activists and rescue groups”

First of all thank you for protecting pitbulls and all dogs. I have a situation which I would like the help of your organization and from all organizations that protects “bully dogs”. I personally do not agree with that label since not all big dogs are bullies. Anyway I was in a Pet Supermarket with my pitbull, Rocky, only to find an ignorant man with a small dog making faces at me and my pitbull. I came outside and tied the leash to a post so I can light up a cigarette. My dog has a harness. The man that was making faces at me in the store came out behind us. Rocky, who loves to play, came out of his harness to go play with the man’s little dog. The man started screaming at me and Rocky. I went over and got Rocky right away and the man went inside the store. As I am trying to get the harness back on Rocky the man comes back out accusing Rocky of biting his dog on the tail. NOT TRUE. I promise you it is not true. If Rocky bit that dog’s tail the dog would at least bleed if not end up with no tail. As a a matter of fact the police came and so did CSI, who determined there are no marks on the little dog to show that he was bit. Needless to say I have a court case to go to on December 05, 2013 at 1:30 in room 230. The two charges I have been accused of are unrestrained dog and a dog bite, both of which are municipal ordinances. I do not care about the cases, they are just ordinances and I would probably take whatever plea and pay the fine, but I will not do that for my dog. I will not have Rocky getting a bad reputation when he did not do anything but breakaway from his leash to play with another dog. I am inviting all dog organizations to come to the courthouse. I will appreciate the support.
